White Flag

I'm waving a white flag

I'm tired of crying

surrendering, giving in

tired of trying

to not fall apart

thought I'm dying

inside

slowly losing my mind

going broke.

-

What in the hell

did you allow to happen here?

I meditate, I medicate

I gave it my all dear

but you were content

to keep those 3 words in your mouth

while I burned out

you sat playing video games on the couch

it's got to be a joke.

-

I fill up my days

with words that make my heart richer

lost in memories

that paint a brighter picture

resigned to know this

wasn't worth the price paid for it at all.

-

You let it all go,

let it slip through your fingers

promises made

that you never delivered

I had to make peace

with what died

and with being alone

knowing you'd never lead

me down a road

that would ever end up

as home.

-

I'm waving the white flag

and if my phone rings now...

I won't pick up your call.
